Shizuoka Group Visits Brunei again (22-26 August)

Shizuoka Group from Japan makes their annual visit to Brunei Darussalam. This year there were a total of 21 (half of them teenagers, the other veterans) participants plus the 2 Katos who usually lead the group to Brunei.

They arrived today on SQ182 and went by bus straight to Bersatu HQ for a brief introduction by the Secretary General and Deputy Secretary General 2 as the Chairman and Secretary respectively, for the visit

Just light snacks while they were there and then off to UBD for a visit.

For this visit Bersatu had decided to host the visit along with Majlis Perundingan Kampong Subok (Subok Village Consultative Council). Half of the participants were hosted by families from Kg Subok and others by our gracious Host Family regulars.

Homestay matching was meant to be at the Kampong Subok Head House at 5 pm but things took a little bit longer at UBD, and they only eventually arrived at 5.50pm. Sigh. Stress aku. Anyway, their arrival was accompanied by hadrah and bunga telur and a photo session. Then the homestay matching ceremony was carried out where the "children" are introduced to their host families for the first time. Tiring day for all especially the participants who had left Japan the midnight before. They will leave on Sunday 26th August at 1220pm.




Thanks to all the ex-PYs who have helped today, to the Kampong people for being patient and organising today's homestay matching and also to the patient host families!



Tomorrow, the city tour!
